Abstract(in English) As the first step to steal confidential information from targeted organization, targeted email attacks are increasing rapidly. By impersonating a legitimate sender with falsified "From" field, and carefully crafted email title, message body, signature, and attachments, the attacker sends an email which the receiver opens unwittingly and infects the victim with malware. As the attacker changes his tactics and tricks adaptively for each receiver, it is extremely difficult for current mass-market protections such as spam email filter and anti-virus software protect from such attacks. This paper proposes a client-side solution to protect email receivers from such attacks by utilizing email features which is difficult for attackers to forge. Based on this proposal, we have implemented a prototype, which warns an email receiver of potential email attacks before she opens the emails and its implementation details are given in this paper.
